Hey everyone, I'll try to make this a quick author's note so you can go read the chapter. Just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be deviating from the twilight timeline for this chapter. It's time for the La Push tribe legends.

So this is what's going to happen, I'm going to tell you that they're having the bonfire but I'm not planning on writing Word for Word what's happening. That would just take way too long.

So I will tell you that Billy started the legends, and then make note that the legends were heard.

There just was no way I was going to write out the entire legends.

This Chapter is dedicated to everyone who is still reading this book.

Chapter 14

Charlie started the cruiser, and glanced at me sympathetically. I knew he wanted to talk about what happened, seeing as he didn't know what was wrong.

"Not right now dad. Let me use the car ride to cool down please."

Charlie sighed but nodded in agreement. He spent the entire car ride giving me sideways glances though.

Those sideways glances weren't helping my mood. I already felt bad that I was arguing with Edward. The only thing keeping me from demanding my dad to take me over to the Cullens' place so I could apologize so soon after fighting, was the fact I knew fighting was inevitable. I remembered my parents fighting, and my grandparents could fight like cats and dogs. I had to remind myself that fighting was part of the relationship. Just because we were each other's true love, didn't mean we wouldn't fight. We would and that was fine; it was more than fine, it was normal.

Now I just needed to go home, cool off, and then when Edward arrives for the evening we'd make up. That would give us enough time to talk through everything.

I slouched down in my seat, feeling a bit better. Truthfully I was still fuming inside but it wasn't an inferno of rage.

Charlie parked the car in the driveway, giving me one more, quick glance before heading inside.

I got out of the car and headed for the kitchen. Cooking would help me clear my head even more, or at least I thought it would.

I grabbed the ingredients for homemade chicken cheddar soup. Charlie would most likely welcome the soup with how cold it was outside.

As I cooked, I let my mind wander to Duke. I knew in my heart that it just wasn't possible for Duke to be the traitor. Even when the imposter walked into the room as Duke, I still had a hard time believing it.

Duke and Amanda; that says it all. They were in love, they were mates, and once Amanda was old enough they were going to get married.

What more proof could there be that Duke couldn't have betrayed us.

'Then come up with another solution.'

I jumped slightly when my memory pulled that old thought out of thin air. My Grandfather's voice continued to ring in my ears. I tried to focus on the words.

"Are you ready to talk yet?"

I did jump when I heard my dad's words.

I laughed and soon he did too.

"I didn't mean to scare you." He surprisingly grabbed a knife and started chopping the vegetables I had out, to go in the soup. "Do you want to talk about what's going on?"

I nodded slowly and got back to the food; when I thought came to me. "The Hunters that haven't been making it into headquarters," I paused.

"Yes?" Charlie stopped chopping and turned so he was facing me.

I busied myself with getting the cheese out. "Is there a way to find out who was bringing them in?"

A long sigh made me freeze in place.

"Duke was the one who brought them in."

Great, Edward was right. This wasn't going to go over well. I couldn't even come up with an argument that would help Duke. "Um, I need to go… think. I've got a lot on my mind." I felt bad leaving the meal unfinished, but I'm sure my dad could piece together what had happened down at La Push now. He would also know that I was no longer able to cook and pay enough attention to it.

My dad rested a hand on my shoulder. "I'll order pizza, and I'll put all of this stuff away."

I turned and gave him a quick hug to thank him. "I'll be upstairs."

Racing up the stairs I pushed my door open. The first thing I noticed was the fact my window was closed. Charlie must have closed it while we were on vacation.

I went to the window and opened it. No matter how mad I ever got at Edward, I would never close my window to him. First of all he'd probably just find another way in. And secondly I wouldn't want to go a night without falling asleep in his arms. That pleasure would one day come to an end, so I would enjoy it as long as I could.

Now that I had taken care of the window, I laid down on my bed to think.

My head and heart were so conflicted. My head sees the evidence, but my heart knows the truth. Though I had no way of proving that to Edward.

'Then come up with another solution.'

'What other solution,' I thought to myself angrily. I groaned loudly. There wasn't another solution that I could come up with. We weren't going to see eye to eye on this. It would just be easier to give up. The fact of the matter was, there wasn't a point of arguing it out, we'd never agree, so it would just be better to agree to disagree.

"May I come in?"

A sat up and smiled over at Edward who was sitting in the tree outside my window.

Seeing my smile made him grin and he climbed inside my room. He sat down beside me on my bed, wrapping his arms around me. "I'm sorry. It sounds so inadequate."

I laughed softly. "It does, but it's all that needs to be said really."

Edward shook his head. "Not really, we need to talk about this. I shouldn't have behaved that way."

"You were just worried about me. I understand your need to keep me safe."

Edward took one of my hands, playing with my fingers. He sighed. "And I can try to understand your feelings for this… delicate situation."

I couldn't help it. I laughed. I clutched my sides and laughed. I stopped when I saw the hurt on his face. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed. It's just I've come to realize that this problem shouldn't come between us like it has."

Edward raised a brow. "And that's why you laughed at me."

I shook my head and tried to hold back a snort. "I thought it was cute how you attempted to word our "delicate situation"."

Edward rolled his eyes and pulled me into a hug, which he didn't release me from. "So what should we do about this new information?"

I twisted in his arms so I could look at him. "Let's do nothing."

Edward's reply was to give me a confused look; so explained. "Despite what we have, there isn't enough evidence against Duke. So we forget about the fight we had, we've already apologized anyway. Life goes on and we continue looking for the traitor. Jasper has finally been able to help Anna start sorting through all the sensations. They'll be able to get to that night eventually and then we'll know for sure who it is."

Edward's face tightened slightly with anger. "Bella I'm not sure if forgetting about this is a good idea."

"I said forget about the fight," I reminded him. "I never said we were going to forget about what is going on with the Hunters. I understand what all of that is implying."

I sighed deeply preparing myself for what needed to be done. "Until the person who betrayed my family is found, we'll stay away from Duke."

In an attempt to make a joke I added, "we just won't be able to fly via private jet anymore."

Edward pressed his lips to my temple. "No one else flies that plane but Duke."

I knew it wasn't a question. I knew he had heard me and Duke talking earlier on the plane.

"So, we're good?" I asked hopefully, wanting to be done so we can go back to being happy. It really was such a pointless reason to be angry since there was a simple solution to get over it.

My favorite grin spread over his face. "We're great. You amaze me, Bella." I laughed softly. "I'll be honest I thought we'd be arguing over this for a while."

I shrugged. "I didn't want to. Why waste time arguing about it."

Edward kissed me for that. "Your pizza just arrived. Hurry and eat. It's been a long day and I'm sure you're tired."

He let me up so I could go get some pizza. I pointed to the spot he was sitting. "Stay."

He smiled, before turning into a perfect statue on my bed.

I hurried down the stairs at a human run.

"Slow down Bella!" Charlie called. "Just because you've learned control doesn't mean you won't lose control. If you go down those stairs without the ability to see there's a guaranteed chance you'll hurt yourself."

I stepped off the last step. "Okay Dad." I knew he was right. I really shouldn't have raced down the stairs but I wanted to get back to my room, and to Edward.

Charlie handed me a plate as soon as I walked into the kitchen.

"Thanks Dad." I tried to turn and leave but he caught hold of the back of my shirt. I turned back to him, my face silently asking him what he wanted.

His face was unreadable. He shook his head even though a small smile was already showing. "You could tell Edward to use the front door you know."

My face burned red and I'm sure the blush would spread through my entire body; I could already feel it on my neck. I wasn't embarrassed that my dad knew that Edward was in my room. He had to know that he was there, and that he was usually in my room at night.

No, I was embarrassed because Edward could hear this conversation. There was also a good chance that my dad wasn't shielding his thoughts, so I was afraid of what he was thinking.

I backed out of the room, now needing to escape. "Understood. We'll talk about it." Before my dad could reply I raced out of the room, using my shield to keep me slow, just so I could escape safely.

Entering my room, I found that it wasn't any better in there than in the kitchen. Edward was no longer a statue, but he did remain in his seat. He was laughing though, making it impossible for him to be completely still.

"That is not funny," I growled at him in annoyance.

That only made him laugh harder. "It is too funny, Bella."

I sat down across from him on the bed and rolled my eyes. "It isn't funny. Besides, we already knew that my dad knew about you being here at night."

Edward nodded, and sighed to try to calm down. "Oh he knows, he's known for a while now, he just didn't want to embarrass you."

"So what changed?" I turned and glared at the door. In my mind I was coming up with plans to get my dad back.

A chuckle made me turn to face Edward again. He smiled softly. "He figured we could use that as an ice breaker so we can get over our latest argument faster."

I dropped my head into my hands and groaned. "Dads."

Edward chuckled before leaning over and kissing my forehead. "You need to eat Bella, before your food gets cold. It's getting late. You don't want to be tired tomorrow."

I rolled my eyes and bit into my slice of pizza. "I'll be tired tomorrow, no matter what happens. Today has just been too exhausting."

Edward nodded his head in agreement.

"So why don't you just come through the front door, especially since Charlie doesn't seem to you mind being here."

Edward's gaze dropped to his hands and he smirked. He shook his head before dazzling me with his eyes. "I come through the window so your neighbors don't see me. If they were to see me enter your house through the door, they'd expect Charlie to throw me out of the house when it got too dark. So when I don't want your nosy neighbors to know I'm here, I come through the window."

That made so much sense I actually blushed since I didn't think of that. Of course he wouldn't want the neighbors to think my dad was a bad dad. The town would definitely talk if the chief of police let his daughter's boyfriend stay the night.

I nodded and finished my dinner silently as Edward watched me. Once I had finished, he whisked my plate away. I grabbed my toiletries bag and my pajamas, heading for my bathroom.

As always Edward was laying on top of my bed waiting for me. I climbed under my covers and snuggled close to him. "So, what's the plan, with the Hunters?"

At first I wasn't sure if Edward was going to tell me. He remained silently for almost a full five minutes before he spoke up.

"After you and your dad left, Carlisle called Grandpa Ray. He decided that was probably the safest bet. Grandpa Ray has removed Duke from the state. Duke's heading back to Phoenix; and he was told to stay there till all of this is dealt with."

I nodded my head against his shoulder. "That sounds like what Grandpa Ray would do. He's probably going to have someone keep a close eye on him for the time being."

"Yeah, he's got a friend that will be staying with him."

I could tell from his tone that there was more. I tilted my head back so I could meet his eyes. "What's wrong now?"

He gave me a soft smile before shaking his head. "Just worried about the Hunters. Right now I only really trust the people your dad has called in to help us."

That made sense. Edward wasn't thrilled to trust Grandpa Ray either.

"Sleep Bella, our lives are going to get even crazier, now that we have to recapture some Hunters." He started to hum my lullaby, knowing it would put me to sleep.

Crazy couldn't cover our lives. The word was so far from inadequate that it was laughable.

Every morning I'd get up, and if it was a school day, Edward, Alice, and I would go to school. After school, we'd head over to their house. We'd work on homework then we'd go to La Push and help the others with the Hunters.

It didn't take long for the Hunters to realize what we were doing though. They were now being more careful. If it wasn't for Anna's powers and our signs, we wouldn't have been able to catch the few Hunters we had.

It didn't help that we were still trying to round up the ones that had already been caught. Those Hunters were being extremely careful though.

Without Duke, we didn't have the knowledge or the numbers we needed to clear out all the vermin that had come in to the area.

Duke and his friends could have easily cleared out the number of Hunters we had caught in the entire month, in just a few days. It was disconcerting.

All the work we had been doing trying to catch hold of people who had become like phantoms, had really taken its toll on us. I was beat, and I knew the members of the pack weren't doing too well either.

I crashed on the couch in the Cullens' living room, hoping to rest a little before I had to work on some sort of examination for a new product idea for Toby's first company.

It wasn't until someone was gently shaking me awake that I realized I had fallen asleep.

I opened my eyes and found Carlisle smiling down at me. Groaning, I sat up. If Carlisle was home that meant I had slept longer than I had meant to.

"What's going on Carlisle?" Esme asked as she joined us in the living room. She held Cissy in her arms, putting the little girl's jacket on her.

A second later the others appeared, Jasper carrying Anna. Alice was a step behind them with Anna's coat.

Carlisle offered his hand to help me up as he answered Esme's question. "Billy called. With everything that is going on in La Push, he and the other Elders have decided to tell the boys that they suspect will change, about the pack. They're going to have a bonfire and talk about their legends," he paused sparing each of us a glance. His eyes lit up with excitement. "He's asked us to join them."

"Sweet!" Emmett bellowed.

Cissy covered her ears. "Loud."

We all smiled at that.

Just as I had told Esme, once Cissy had started talking, she picked up words much faster than a normal baby. Her vocabulary was already over a hundred words, and she was learning new ones every day.

Not only had she picked up so many words, but she was already starting to string sentences together. She also knew how to properly pronounce the different consonants and vowels.

It made taking her to the grocery store difficult, seeing as she wanted to talk to everyone.

Rose reached for Cissy. "Is Uncle Emmett being too loud?

Cissy eagerly went to her aunt. She snuggled into Rose's arms.

"Are we going?" Anna battered her long eyelashes at Carlisle pouting slightly.

Carlisle laughed softly. "Yes, you and Cissy are going too."

Anna's grinned widened with excitement and she bounced in Jasper's arms.

We all got in our cars and drove to La Push. I was more than eager to learn more about the legends of the tribe. Since being told the legend of how some of the tribe members could turn into wolves, I had wondered about the other legends.

We met Sam at Billy's house, and I was surprised to find my dad's cruiser there.

Sam smiled. "Your dad is already at the cliff sight. I've been waiting to show you the way."

We nodded our thanks, and he led the way to the cliffs where the others had already started the fire.

Sitting around the fire in lawn chairs, were old Quil, Harry Clearwater and his wife Sue, and my dad, while Billy was in his chair.

I saw Jacob and his friends, Embry, Quil, Seth, and Leah sitting on one side of the fire while the pack and Emily were across from them. That left the last open side of the fire for the rest of us.

"What's up vampire girl?" Embry grinned in my direction. He liked the others looked thrilled to know the secret.

I rolled my eyes and sat down between Edward and Alice.

"Do you think it's a good idea to have the girls here?" Billy asked quietly.

My dad chuckled softly. "It'll be fine. I doubt Anna and Cissy are even paying attention"

I glanced over at the little girls. Rose was distraction Cissy by playing with her and her doll. Jasper and Alice were doing the same with Anna. We wouldn't have any trouble with the girls. They would be able to distract the girls and listen to the stories at the same time.

Billy glanced at Anna and Cissy before nodding, seeming to agree with Charlie. "Alright then, let us begin."

He cleared his throat, and began the story in his reach, deep voice.

I listened intently as Billy told the legends of the tribe. As I listened to their tales, I couldn't help thinking that the spirit warriors of old sounded strangely familiar. In fact the Spirit Warriors sounded almost exactly like the spirit guard in the other world.

I glanced over at Charlie and noticed that he was watching me closely. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he was thinking the exact same thing I was. The La Push tribe was from the other world. There was no doubt in my mind.

Our thoughts were confirmed when Billy spoke of how Taha Aki had merged his spirt with the great wolf. It was another trait that they shared with the spirit guard.

Learning about the La Push tribe's legends was a remarkable gift, but when Charlie surprised everyone by telling them exactly how the powers of the spirit warriors worked, that was priceless.

Let's just say the tribe was surprised to realize none of them were human, or at least normal humans.

Author's Note

I just wanted to let you all know that I am going to make a poll, to see who you all think the traitor is. So you should be able to find that on my profile once I get it up. I'm looking forward to seeing who you all think the traitor is.

Now onto the questions.

What did you guys think about how I switched up the tribe? Did you like how I threw them into the other world?

Now that Jacob and his friends know that they can turn into wolves when do you think they will start changing?

I really hope you guys like this chapter and I look forward to your feedback.

PS

Sorry if the tribal legends wasn't at all what you were expecting. I just didn't want to have to write all that information out.

Until next time, look out for traitors.
